Established in 1861 as the first winery in the Napa Valley by Prussian-born Charles Krug. Today the winery remains under the stewardship of the Peter Mondavi Sr Family, who purchased the historic winery in 1943. A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, dark red with ripe dark berry scents and vanilla spice. On the palate sweet blackberry and cherry flavors with current and cacao notes. Fine tannins on medium+ finish ending with nutty tones.

Dark fruit, cassis, vanilla. Staple Napa Cabernet with enough backbone to keep it from being flabby.
